The gap you measured is on the high side, I don't know what the upper spec limit is but I've worked on several AC compressors that have had clutch engagement problems with a clutch airgap smaller than this, around .031 to 0.033 inch. Because you're only getting cool air from your AC system initiall...

Hi All, So the battle continues...trying to get sunroof to close and dome lights to stop cycling on and off while driving (no door open/tailgate open codes as far as the lights go) Removed alarm siren, cut open, replaced siren battery, circuit board looked good and old battery hadn't leaked. Sealed...

Help! My remote has been erratic for some time, but now key won't unlock the door either. I didn't even realize the key was not mechanically unlocking the car until now. Any ideas? This is obviously a large PITA. This also begs the question, with a dead battery there would be absolutely no way into...

Hi folks. Just did a valve body replacement and all went well. Shifting like a dream. New problem arose though. Gear shifter very stiff and car is rolling in park. No grinding or anything. I only let it roll a foot if that. Any ideas? The internal linkage came out when putting the valve body in, ha...

It may be related to the rear glass. Some cars, not mine, route the wire that's grounded when the tailgate i...

Does anyone have a comprehensive list or sizes for various Oetiker clamps used on P2's? Im looking for specifically: Power Steering return line and reservoir to pump Radiator overflow hose to tank Intake manifold centre nipple (centre of manifold) Turbo cooling hose Radiator hoses I'm assuming that...

I posted yesterday about the fact i'd accidently closed the latch on the boot and i couldnt get the boot to shut. I managed to sort this out in the end - dont know how but i managed to free it! Anyhow - the reason i was messing around with the latch in the first place was because there is a intermi...

Thanks for this. I checked the wires yesterday evening and they all looked fine. I will look again tommorow to see if they have perhaps gone hard and are ready to snap or something.. When checking the wires pull the harness covering the wires down further than you would expect to have to, the damag...

I took a photo of the wires which seem to be in decent shape. (i thought i would be able to attach it but it wont let me) Possibly the wires are frayed within the wrapped part? Alternatively do you think a mechanic could disconnect the alarm system. I'm not bothered about the message i just want to...
